Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
Man, I REALLY wanted this game.
The story sounded stunning... following Dante's Inferno?!?
Why was it ever canned?!?!
(I was prolly the only one in the world following this game and wanting it released, heh)
"Prepare your mind and soul for the most terrifying, psychological thriller game ever conceived. Developed by the masterminds behind System Shock 2, the Lost is best described as Zelda meets Resident Evil. This next generation survival horror title challenges people to confront their most horrific fears in an expansive 3-D world - The 9 Circles of Hell." - GameSpot

Oh, WHAT? Dead Rush got cannend?
GOD DAMMIT!
GOD DAMMIT!
Some interesting titles:
Daytona USA 3 (SEGA) - Rumour?
Final Fight Revenge (Capcom) - Wasn't this canned on Saturn?
Last Bronx 2 (SEGA) - Any media for this or was it just a rumour?
Over the Top Soccer (SEGA) - Did this become Soccer Slam?
The Ring: The Legend of the Nibelungen (Cryo / Success) - Is this the sequel to the Jap DC game?
Sonic & Knuckles RPG (SEGA) - I thought this was a rumour before Sonic Suffle was unveiled and I heard it was just a Knuckles RPG
Oh and Geist Force was apparently cancelled by quality control

Fuck! That makes me even more bummed that a US version never surfaced. Ubi was supposed to publish it, I believe. I'm a sucker for anything even remotely Tim Burton-esque.ram said:
Forget it, Evil Twin was terrible.
This one could have been good:
Originally announced as a licensed game (The Druid King) this was scheduled for a release on Xbox, PS2 and PC in 2002. Since then the developers (Sidhe) have developed several Rugby titles (thanks, EA...) but this one seems to have been abandoned. Hopefully they'll revive it on PSP.

From what I understand, the plug got pulled on Stolar's pet Dreamcast project after the game was not meeting any sort of remote playablity even after 2 years and millions od dollars in development.
Also, my list would include The Red Star, 100 Bullets, Full Throttle 2, Sam and Max 2, Thief 2 Gold, the first version of Thief 3, Castlevania Resurrection, Space Quest 7, Lesuire Suit Larry 8, Raven Blade and Amber 3.

well for some reason i am happy that we have not seen anything of FF XII.
what i am hoping for at E3 is that SquarEnix has change the characters and created a totaly new design over the game so when it is shown at E3 this year we will have more vibrant colors, cooler characters and a more beautiful world to play around in!
cause this is not what i want a FF game to look like!

another HUGE game that was cancelled -
Phantasy Star 4 on SegaCD ( and MegaCD)... aka Phantasy Star 4: The Return of Alis
note: oh and the '3D' 1st person dungeons that you might have seen for PS4 before they were axed from the final game, that has nothing to do with PS4: Return of Alis on CD-ROM. those 1st person dungeons were from the totally different PS4 (that we got) which was released on a 24-meg cart.
FUCKING SEGA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why did you kill this game ????????????????????????????????????????????? ;_;
if not as PS4, 'Return of Alis' should've then been made into..............
Phantasy Star 5: Return of Alis for Saturn or Dreamcast.

Speaking of cancelled Sega games, has anybody else read this article on the whole sorted story of Sonice X-Treme?

I'll second The Lost
The website is still active
http://www.thelost.com/
The forum was removed from Irrationals website, so it looks like chances of it coming out are very slim, but it still hasn't been officially cancelled...

That depends how you define cancelled, as it's now known as Shantae DS.

The current-generation version of The Lost has been shelved, but Irrational own the rights, and want to remake the game in the future in all its glory without any corners cut.
I've been waiting for it since early 2000, so I figure what's another five years between friends?
Shard said:
Interesting stuff probably the most complete version on what happened. But the thing I was most interested in was
"Naka = Many credit him with creating Sonic. Though those within STI who I spoke with when I arrived say this wasn't true. Never met him, because he had departed the US by the time I started at STI.
Yasuhara = Designer (level and character). I worked with him a few years, and have to say that he is one of the nicest and honest guys I know. He said he created Sonic and I believe him. He's quiet and not driven by ego like Naka, so that is why I believe what he says. "

Yeah. A while back Matt Bozan (Bozon?) was talking about Shantae Advace on the IGN boards. He said something to the effect of, "It's running quite well on the DS (not using the GBA slot)."
He also said something about possibly being able to bundle Shantae Advance in wth Shantae DS, if they end up being seperate games. (You know, the DS boxes are set up for this kind of thing...)
Sorry I don't have exact quotes, it's been a long while since he said any of this, and the IGN boards are just a fucking mess to wade through looking for old posts. So it's either a DS game, or it's a completed GBA game that just doesn't have a publisher yet. It'd be cool if they released the GBA game packed in with the DS game for like $45. Fuck, it'd be cool if they RELEASED THE GAME AT ALL. COME ON NAMCO!
Ah! Luckily, I already quoted it a while ago so thanks to GAF not sucking ass I was able to find it.

well the characters in the tech demo that screenboy posted is from FFVI and not FFVII.
Square did not code anything on FFVII until it they got the dev kit for PS.

Well, then U.S. Sega head Bernie Stoler killed Geist Force because he felt an on rails shooter wasn't "next-gen" enough for the DC.
As for Netter Digital, I think it was a lack of work. After Babylon 5, the first batch of B5 TNT movies, and Crusade they had no more regular projects. The last thing I saw from Netter Digital was a pilot pick-up teaser for a Buckaroo Banzai TV show.
